No Eight Course Delight

Camping means a lot of things to a lot of people. But to those who like their gourmet meals better than anything, a trip in the outdoors means giving up their favourite type of food for a few days. With a fire on the stove being the only way to cook, a lot of people have trouble cooking when on a camping trip. There are simple remedies to these culinary woes that people encounter, and this simple checklist should ensure that you are well on the way to the closest thing to an eight course meal, right in the arms of Mother Nature.

Always carry a large jug, and a few large pans, along with a large bucket of water. These can be used to store clean water which is a must for camping cooking anywhere. Ice, matches and fuel to light the stove, charcoal, dry firewood and newspaper are important items required to get a fire going. If you are camping, and want to enjoy a more sophisticated barbecue, then a grill is also a must have.

You also need to have the utensils required to cook, and eat a meal outdoors. Measuring cups, paper plates and bowls, aluminum foil and paper napkins, dish soaps, pins and plastic cutlery must be included on any packing list for an outdoor trip. Cooking oil is also another mandatory component of that list. Other important utensils and knick knacks include tongs, skewers, pots/frying pans, can openers, bottle openers, folding tables and chairs. The first aid kit should also be kept handy during the camping cooking process.
